Brilliant bipartisan discussion by Kevin Hassett and Rob Shapiro on their research into early childhood development accounts. The impact of compounding for America’s children is incredible!

This is the unconscious bias that my colleagues face every time they put on the uniform. This needs to change…there is no excuse. As an industry we wonder why we have difficulties attracting female and minorities to the role. They just don’t see themselves in that role and on the rare occasion they do, this happens. I have seen this very mistake recently when having breakfast with a colleague who was mistaken as a FA. What can we do to change these perceptions?

Boom! Excited to welcome @MattLira as the new Executive Director of Invest America. Matt is a proven bi-partisan builder who is already working tirelessly to make @InvestAmerica24 a reality. America will be better and stronger when every child shares in the upside of American capitalism w a 401k-like account from birth seeded with $1000 from the Federal Government invested in the S&P 500. Time to build together!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🚀🚀 Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): “I’ve worked together with Matt on several successful initiatives over the years, and I saw firsthand why he is someone that Members and staff from both sides of the aisle know to trust. He has a unique ability to build bipartisan coalitions that actually get things done.” Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy: “I’ve known Matt for over fifteen years, and he has consistently brought people together to get things done — whether it's our country’s innovators and policymakers, Republicans and Democrats, or the legislative and executive branches. Matt’s reputation as an honest broker is well-earned and he has been critical to delivering several meaningful policy reforms for the American people.” Eric Cantor, Former House Majority Leader and Vice Chairman of Moelis & Company: "Matt has a talent for building bridges that drive meaningful results; on Capitol Hill, his ingenuity and vision pioneered new ways of connecting citizens with their government. Matt has since spent his career advocating and applying innovative ideas to better the lives of the American people. I am very pleased to hear that he will have the opportunity to continue these efforts in this new chapter.” Aneesh Chopra, 1st CTO of the United States, Obama Administration (2009-2012): “Gerstner clearly did his homework. Matt Lira is a dear friend - a doer, a well regarded consensus maker, and trusted steward for innovative ideas that deserve bipartisan support.”

Former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has emotionally reminisced about meeting Queen Elizabeth II. Turnbull led the campaign for Australia to become a republic in 1999 but said today the nation was "united in grief." #QueenElizabethII #Queen

A vital but little-discussed element of the response to the war in Ukraine has been safeguarding and preserving the country’s data. #AWS mobilized to help Ukraine move to the cloud at an incredible pace. This has been inspiring work. aboutamazon.com/news/aws/saf…
